Since the chickens are little Houdinis and will not stay in their yard, we had to get creative with our summer veggies. (Unless we wanted to share our garden with the ladies) We have three upside-down plants in the back and two right-side-up in the front sharing a pot. This was the first time we tried potting tomatoes, so we weren't sure what they would produce. But, lo and behold, we have some juicy red ones! Layla loves to eat fresh tomatoes and each time I ask my little helper to pick me some tomatoes, she samples the wares. Below is our family's favorite summertime salsa recipe. Be sure to have an entire bag of tortilla chips handy, this recipe's a big one!
Summertime Salsa
4-5 medium tomatoes, diced and squeezed gently to remove extra juices
1/2 sweet onion or 1/4 red onion, diced
1/2 c torn fresh cilantro
2 cloves garlic, minced
1-2 jalapenos, seeded and diced
1 lemon, juiced
salt and pepper to taste
Toss all ingredients together and eat your hearts out!
